The series will move from from Gandhi’s earliest days to his actions as a lawyer in South Africa to the independence struggle in India, telling the lesser known stories of his life that played an important role in shaping him into a Mahatma (a revered person in South East Asia). It will also tell the stories of all his compatriots and contemporaries of the freedom movement, who played integral parts in shaping what became free and modern India.

We’ll be building our universe around him.”
Nair — the former Star, NDTV and Bali Telefilms CEO whose company Applause is behind the Indian remake of The Office and several other high profile Indian series and films — has put a writer’s room in place to
